About The Artwork
The steps up to the Waterfall were made from the natural rock in 1925 in preparation for a visit from the Prince of Wales who wished to see if he could spot the mythical Waterfall’s Mermaid. In 1948 further improvements were made to the steps for the now safer 5 minute walk each way. In 1996, great floods caused the road to the Waterfall to collapse and formed a small pool. Today a picnic spot has been added here with the beautiful pool and Waterfall as the backdrop. It was after this flood that the story began of the mermaid being washed out of the pool and via the Groot and Olifants Rivers to the sea. Fishermen then caught her in their nets and sent her to the CP Nel Museum where she was preserved in spirits. It was said that, after this story circulted, the Museum received many calls from visitors to the area wanting to view the mermaid!
